Cristina Ouvina - EuroBasket Women 2013 Profile

After five seasons with her hometown club, the guard made a big move into EuroLeague Women and away from her home by switching to Krakow and playing with Wisla Can-Pack who were coached by fellow Spaniard Jose Hernandez.. It proved to be an up and down year with Ouvina struggling with injuries and suffering through a disastrous year which harvested none of the usual silverware, nor a place at the EuroLeague Women Final Eight. Still, the playmaker did show several glimpses of what a talented and hard-nosed player she is. Very effective defensively, she is always coming up with steals and willing to put her body on the line for the sake of the team. She is maturing with every season and will be mentally tougher from her first year experience in Poland. Last summer was her debut for the senior national team and she will hoping she did enough to come off the bench again in France, although the backcourt is very competitive.
